B. The role of the moon is greater than that of the sun in the occurrence of tides. ???​

Physics
1 answer:
ahrayia [7]3 years ago
7 0

Our sun is 27 million times larger than our moon. Based on its mass, the sun's gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth. If tidal forces were based solely on comparative masses, the sun should have a tide-generating force that is 27 million times greater than that of the moon. However, the sun is 390 times further from the Earth than is the moon. Thus, its tide-generating force is reduced by 3903, or about 59 million times less than the moon. Because of these conditions, the sun’s tide-generating force is about half that of the moon.

When a bimetallic bar made of copper and iron strips is heated, it
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The bimetallic strip will bend to the iron's way since

When heated copper expands more than iron

Explanation:

bimetallic strips are temperature regulatory devices used to convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement.

It consists of two layers, usually iron and copper which layers are joined together to form the strip owing to the difference in the constants of expansion of the two materials, a flat strip will bend one way (toward the iron part) if heated. The linear thermal expansion coefficient relates the change in temperature to the change in a material's linear dimensions.

What is a rarefaction?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Rarefaction is the reduction of an item's density, the opposite of compression. Like compression, which can travel in waves, rarefaction waves also exist in nature. A common rarefaction wave is the area of low relative pressure following a shock wave.
